Title: 틸팅 기능을 구비한 보조륜 지지 아암
Filed: 2000-11-22
Abstract: 보조륜을 부착하지 않은 자전거가 커브를 돌 때, 운전자는 차체를 기울여 균형을 잡지만, 자전거에 보조륜을 부착한 경우, 자전거와 보조륜을 잇는 종래의 지지 아암은 절곡되지 않으므로 차체를 넘어뜨리는 일이 없는 반면, 차체를 기울여 균형을 잡는 연습을 할 수 없어 운전 기술의 습득이 어려웠다.  또한, 보조륜이 노면의 약간의 돌출부에 올라타면 자전거의 후륜이 노면으로부터 벗어나 후륜의 회전이 노면에 전달되지 않으므로 주행이 불가능해졌다.  본 발명은, 이들의 결점을 없애는 것이다. 
     자전거와 보조륜을 잇는 지지 아암의 도중의 일부를 자전거측 지지 아암을 아래로 하고 보조륜측 지지 아암을 위로 하여 포개고, 그 포개어진 부분의 자전거에 가까운 쪽의 단부에서 상하 방향으로 이동 가능하게 서로를 피봇하고, 자전거측 지지 아암과 보조륜측 지지 아암을 나선 스프링으로 결속하여 탄력적으로 절곡하도록 하였다.
